Eventually I did get stoned. Your feet and arms may seem a little cold, and you begin to feel and see things very intensely. Suddenly you wish that everyone would cluster in a small corner of the room because you almost feel that everyone near you is in some magic bubble, whereas the people over in the other part of the room seem very far away.

There they seem to come to their middle-class senses in a denouement that is the biggest cop-out since Sidney Poitier appeared as the world's whitest black man in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Mazursky's direction is impersonal and, at best, functional; his idea of good...
